The D-bus specification appears to be old and the folks at Qt have
given better names IMHO to the terminology given in the D-bus
specification.

Therefore:

service name == "well known bus name" (a very confusing term eg. is
not session or system bus name)
node name == "object path"

Try D-feet (gnome application) as it will be more obvious what is going on.
